India-based industrial designer Jaineel Shah (a 3rd year student at DSK ISD International School of Design INDIA) has come up with the perfect solution with his Pinch hanger:
The simple, plastic device has enough rigidity to form shoulders, yet enough give that when you squeeze it, the wings come together and allow for easy insertion and removal through the neckhole.
Explains Shah,
It uses the existing manufacturing technology of Injection moulding along with one material—Polypropylene with Elastomer mix to manufacture hangers which makes it cost effective to manufacture on a large scale. Polypropylene is a recyclable plastic. At the same time it does not use any mechanism which adds any part or extra cost to the product. PINCH is adaptable to everyone from a factory worker putting hangers in the clothes to sales person at a clothes shop to personal use.
Shah, please put this thing for mass production! I don't own a dozen T-shirts but I'll buy a dozen of these on principle alone ;)
